Shadow mapping is a commonly used technique for generating hard shadows in real time. However, existing shadow map based algorithms cannot render full soft shadows penumbras onto ...
This paper describes a data compression chip for the high-precision electrophotographic printer using Evolvable Hardware (EHW). EHW is a new hardware paradigm which combines Genet...
